My Hoover Model Not listed/stops during the cycle

My machine is a Hoover elite 1206 6 kg washer model number a6930, been working fine for years recently, noticed it pauses during the cycle as in i will return to it and its stuck in the pumping out cycle for say the last half hour, still pumping but not moving on, initally i thout it was too many clothes but recently i washed two buisness shirts and the same thing got stuch in the spray rince cycle and again on the spinning cycle.
Please please someone help, happy to hear from anyone aidan.conway@optusnet.com.au

hey thanks, i must point out that i do have screwdrivers and i can probably take the machine apart but i wouldnt know a timer bearing if it jumped up and bit me on the neck can you advise where that bearing might be e.g. under the drum beside the drum, near where the motor is, near where the cycle selector is etc. Im not stupid just never pulled apart a washing machine before, now if you asked me a nursing question i could probably give u an answer, oh and i do knwo what 30w machine oil is, u say small drops in the timer bearing i assume that too much oil might cause problems.hey thanks, i must point out that i do have screwdrivers and i can probably take the machine apart but i wouldnt know a timer bearing if it jumped up and bit me on the neck can you advise where that bearing might be e.g. under the drum beside the drum, near where the motor is, near where the cycle selector is etc. Im not stupid just never pulled apart a washing machine before, now if you asked me a nursing question i could probably give u an answer, oh and i do knwo what 30w machine oil is, u say small drops in the timer bearing i assume that too much oil might cause problems.

Another snip-it:
..."Kg MODE Indicator". On Cotton and Synthetic cycles, during the first 4 minutes of the cycle the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry and adjust the cycle time, water and electricity consumption accordingly. ...

More: The intelligent KG Mode sensor weighs the laundry and adjusts the cycle time, water and electricity consumption to suit the size of the load. This gives you the optimum consumption even if you are only washing one shirt.

The intelligent KG Mode sensor

During the first minutes of the cycle, the "Kg MODE" indicator remain on while the intelligent sensor will weigh the laundry
and adjust the cycle time, water and
electricity consumption accordingly.
• Through every wash phase "Kg MODE"
allows to monitor information on the wash
load in the drum and in the first minutes
of the wash it:
- adjusts the amount of water required;
- determines the length of the wash cycle;
- controls rinsing according to the type of
fabric selected to be washed it;
- adjusts the rhythm of drum rotation for
the type of fabric being washed;
- recognizes
the presence
of lather,
increasing, if necessary, the amount of
water during rinsing;
- adjusts the spin speed according to the
load, thus avoiding any imbalance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.I recommend both sites because ...

FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.

If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.

Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Have you checked the pump filter, and or that the pump is actually working. if it spins o/k with no water in, then I would suspect a draining problem.
If filter clean and pump o/k, then it could be a control module fault. if this were the case, then it would probably be wiser to purchase a new washer.
Hope this is of some help to you.

NOTE: Be sure to unplug the washer to disconnect electrical power before accessing internal components.

There is a slight possibility that a problem with the pressure switch hose could be causing this problem.

A pinched or twisted air hose can cause this fault code.

When you open the console, check the air hose connected to the pressure switch on the machine control board.

If it is pinched or crimped, I recommend rerouting the hose to resolve this problem.

This may fix your problem without replacing the control board.

NOTE: You may want to check for this condition before ordering the control board. Most electronic control boards cannot be returned for a refund or credit.

If you find no apparent problems with the air hose on the pressure switch, then replacing the machine control board on this washer should correct your problem. There is a risk involved in replacing this part yourself.

As noted above, you could have a problem with the air pressure hose that is not apparent upon your initial inspection. A service technician would normally need to properly and thoroughly diagnose this problem before replacing the control board.
